Timeline axis is valid_time — when each source says the fact was true in the world, not when Dontopedia learned about it. Retracted rows are kept for provenance; coloured stripes indicate the context kind.
doc:beam/24609436-74f2-4564-988e-86e3e75d7114If your vectors have a relatively low dimensionality (e.g., less than 128), you can use `IndexHNSWFlat` instead of `IndexHNSW`. This can be faster since it avoids the overhead of the hierarchical structure. ### 4. **Optimize Construction P…
